Exposé - Anglais - 8 pages - Format Microsoft Word
From 1945 to 1951, a new term had emerged, that of a Welfare State, a "national compulsory insurance for all classes for all purposes from the cradle to the grave" as Churchill explained it. So we can wonder what were the motives for the creation of the Welfare State from 1945 to 1951 ? We will see that there were economic, political and historical motives with the consequences of both the Great Depression and the Second World War. Then we will pay attention to a landmark in British History: the Beveridge Report of 1942, which is said to be at the origin of the creation of the Welfare State. And finally we will focus on the personal influences of some major characters of that period: John Maynard Keynes, William Beveridge, Aneurin Bevan and R.A. Butler.
